Happy 60th Anniversary Disneyland!
On this very day 60 years ago, July 17, 1955 Walt Disney proudly stood in front of guests, members of the media and VIPs to deliver this dedication speech that still makes Disney fans swoon everytime we hear it:
“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here, age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”

Uncle Walt hoped Disneyland would be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. He knocked it out of the Park (pun intended) after all, it's nicknamed "the Happiest Place on Earth." Year after year thousands of people visit Disneyland Resort to experience a one-of-a-kind place where they can let their imaginations soar and truly be a kid again. Disneyland is your land and now more than ever, it's the place where dreams come true.
Now, more than ever, Disneyland Resort is the place where dreams come true. Disneyland has made our families dreams come true many times and continues to do so. Visiting Disneyland Park when we were little girls was something out of a fairytale. Even more magical is seeing the Parks through the eyes of our children when we became mothers. That's the thing about Disneyland. It's always been there for us. It's a constant in all of our lives. A favorite place to visit to celebrate victories or a place to cheer us up when we've had a rough week. We believe in the magic. We are a family of dreamers. That's why we feel so at home at Disneyland Resort, we're surrounded by like-minded people who appreciate the pixie dust just as much as we do. While looking back in our family photo albums of Disney memories, what started in black and white has now turned into the Wonderful World of Color! Walt Disney's legacy continues to be passed down from generation to generation. We are proud to be part of the one and only Mickey Mouse Club!
